Chapter 26: The Devil 'Watukura'
Such a strange occurance! Who would be able to endure it to be tickled to the extreme while also being struck by a few bolt of lightning? You must be joking, right?
After a few moments later, more then half of the villains had been burned to death by the lightning while their mouth looked like as if they were laughing before they died, as if they were very happy to die. Happy your mother! If the dead villains were to know what Marissa was thinking right now, they will probably came back to life and curse her to their heart's content. Was she fu*king blind? Which part of them that looked like they were happy?
"Drag the ones who were still alive inside the same chamber with those previous Demon Barbarians. But, don't put them in the same cell." Marissa checked the intruders for a while before giving instructions to her employees, which were the members of the wild boars and tiger race. "Just burn them completely who were already died." She waved her hand before slowly coming back to the shop.
At this moment, the whole audiences at the shop were shocked. They thought that the Miss would only playing with the intruders by tickling them. Never in their thought that the Miss also capable to struck them with lightning. So awesome! So fearsome! The Miss is an expert, indeed!
...
Unknown place inside the core territory of the North Forest...
A group of beautiful girls were dancing in an alluring manner that made every man in the world couldn't resist the temptation to not praise them and working very hard to make them their own possession.
A group of beautiful girls, an alluring dance, a beautiful music, a lively melody, a few bottles of wine, a table full of delicacies, and a very comfortable massaging as well as a fresh wind breeze from the fanning of four beauties. What a blissful life!
Well, that what was happening right now on a certain courtyard. The man who was currently enjoying all those things was a man in his early forties. At this moment, he sipped his wine while staring at the beauties with wide eyes. But, all the girls seemed to not mind, they even giggled and liked it when that man's eyes were trained at them. There was only a girl, the most beautiful girl among the dancer, who didn't possess a happy expression on her face. It was unknown what happened, but she seemed very distracted and sad to be at the place. However, the middle-aged man's eyes seemed to train on her a lot, and he will nodded in satisfaction whenever he saw her.
At this moment, a man in grey robe suddenly appeared near the middle-aged man. He lowered his body, and whispered something that only he and the middle-aged man could hear. The moment the middle-aged man heard the man's words, his expression instantly change drastically. "What did you say?" He couldn't held himself from talking out loud. After that, he adjusted his expression with difficulty. He looked to the group of beauties all around him and waved his hand dismissively. "Do what you need to do. I'm leaving for a while." He said as he already moved and walked out of the courtyard with his fastest move.
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, all the beauties instantly lowered their bodies and fall into a genuflection position as they said "Yes, Your Majesty!", in a very devoted, united, and sonorous voice, but still sounded charming and coquettish.
Your Majesty?
The middle-aged man was a ruler?
He was a King or an Emperor?
In Nusantara Continent, someone who was called as 'Your Majesty', usually possessed a high level cultivation. At the very least, they would be in the peak level of Void Master. But, in general, the ruler or king of a certain territory would be found as a Monarch Level Master. What was the actual status of the middle-aged man?
In a certain room...
"What do you mean with your words just now?" The middle-aged man asked in a stern voice.
"There is no other meaning. That was really what happened previously. I myself had been attacked by that lightning. Thankfully, I could dodge it immediately, so I wasn't burned so badly, Your Majesty." The man was kneeling on one knee as he lowered his head, feeling so ashamed.
"Tell me the chronology shortly. What do you mean by the words 'They were tickled to death'?" The Emperor asked in puzzled.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man started to explain from the start on how the group of man that they ordered to attack First Elder of the Tiger Tribe, which was Uncle Huth, were attacked in a very mysterious way. "The moment they entered the shop and wanted to fight the peoples inside, there was suddenly a young woman who asked them to leave. She said that if they didn't leave immediately, they will regret it forever. And sure enough, just as they started to fight, our warriors suddenly attacked by an unknown force. I heard they were being tickled to the extreme and there were about ten peoples who died from that tickling."
The man paused for a moment before continuing his explanation. "I also saw the accident. I thought it was just a common incident and they would be able to overcome it immediately. Who knew that Big Stone, as a leader, was so helpless as well. He ordered everyone to get out of the shop, it was then the mysterious force vanished. They thought, well, I also thought that everything would be over after that. But, no. It's not over, yet."
The man took a deep breath. "A subordinate suggested to Big Stone that they should destroy the shop, but, there was nothing happened. They couldn't even created a tiny scratch on that shop. I was so amazed, too. I never expected that the shop was so miraculous. Although the weapon that they used wasn't a high level one, but at least they weren't ordinary ones either. There were even one or two middle level weapons at that time, but the result was... nothing happened. I don't know what kind of materials the shop was built with, but seemed like it was a very good treasure, Your Majesty!"
The man was silent for a moment as he observed the reaction of the middle-aged man in front of him. Sure enough, there was a brief glint flashed across his eyes. It was a pair of greedy eyes. His Majesty must be hooked by what the man in grey robe told him. After all, he was very famous for his greed in the entire North Forest and even in the surrounding territories, including Singhasari.
"What happened after that?" His Majesty asked.
"After that, Big Stone provoked the young woman to fight, but instead, the woman sent several bolt of lighting down for Big Stone and his group. Not only that, but the previous tickling incident also happened once again. So, at that time, Big Stone and his group was tickling and stuck by lightning at the same time until they died." After he finished narrating his story, he suddenly felt shivered. That was too horrifying! It was fortunate that he escaped at that time as fast as possible. Or else, he couldn't imagine what would happened after that. Would he die, too?
He thought he wouldn't gotten struck by that lightning if he was hiding far away, but no, he too, actually got struck by those hateful lightning! Did that lightning possess an eye to see? Or was that young woman actually already knew that he was hiding at that place? It can't be, right?
"They all died?" The middle-aged man asked.
The man in grey robe, who was still feeling fear because of the incident, instantly came back to his sense after hearing that question.
"Ah, I guess so."
"What do you mean? Are you just guessing it?" The middle-aged man hollered in anger.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm really not sure. When I escaped at that time, there were already more than a half of our warriors who died in front of the shop. I want to stay for a while more to observe the situation, but the lightning keep coming for me. I tried to endure, but I couldn't hold on anymore. I'm afraid I will die if I stayed any longer at that place and there wouldn't be anyone who would come back here and report the situation to Your Majesty." The man said to depend himself so as not to get punished by His Majesty.
"So, you mean there was a high probability that all our warriors had already died at that shop?" The middle-aged man asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty. However, we also can't rule out that there would be one or two warriors who probably survived the ordeal. Big Stone was such a strong warrior. Although he was only a middle level of Void Master, he usually could fight someone at a higher level than him by one or two small realms. Moreover, he also possessed a weapon at the middle tier, which possessed a possibility to make a breakthrough to the high level weapon. With that, I feel like there was a high possibility that he will survive." The man gave his analysis.
The middle-aged man nodded. "Make a further investigation regarding this matter. You don't need to attack the enemies at this moment. Let's wait for a few more days as we collect for more information. After that, we could launch a sudden attack at them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Alright, you may leave...uh, wait!" The middle-aged man suddenly halted his command. "If you think you need to make a few small attack, you could do it as well. But don't make it too big. We need to look for the situation first."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Oke, you may leave. Don't forget to check the situation of Big Stone and the others if there were any of them who still alive." The middle-aged man waved his hand.
"By your order, Your Majesty."
...
Somewhere in the middle area of the North Forest...
Elder Sugata Brahma was wandering around while muttering to himself. "Where is that rascal going to? I've searched everywhere, but even until now, I still couldn't find him. Even if I'm late, it's only about three to four hours after his departure, how come I can't catch up with him? How could he be so fast?"
He was after all an expert at the middle level of Void Master, while in his mind, Arya Kamandhanu was only a middle level of Nascent Soul cultivator, so their speed couldn't be compared to. The speed of a Nascent Soul expert was only 500 meter persecond, while the speed of a Void Stage expert was twice of those experts at Nascent Soul, which was 1000 meter persecond.
Elder Sugata flew for a while more until he spotted someone who was sitting under a teak wood while smoking the type of old cigar. A billowing smoke was coming out of the small pipe on his hand as he enjoyed the rather cold night.
"Excuse me, Sir, may I ask you something?" Elder Sugata asked the man.
The man suddenly stopped his activity, then looked up at Elder Sugata. He curled his lips and smiled faintly, but after that, he resumed his smoking activity. The smoke that came out of his pipe became even more solid, twirling up in the air like a coiling little dragon. Just as Elder Sugata felt impatient, the man stopped smoking again. "What do you want to ask, old man?" Finally, the man gave a respond.
"Well, have you ever seen a young man that looked like in his early twenties? He is very handsome, possessed a dark blue colour hair. He usually ties a small and long-black cloth on his head... like this..." Elder Sugata explained while pointing on his head. "His cultivation was on the middle level of Nascent Soul. He looked rather cold and unfriendly, but he is actually a very nice person..." Elder Sugata kept blabbering, until the man cut off his sentences.
"Old man, do you want me to tell the truth or not?" The man asked while still busy with his cigar.
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"I actually have seen the person that you mentioned..."
Hearing that, Elder Sugata was delighted, but it's only for about two seconds before his expression turned suspicious because of the previous question of that man. Who knows whether he was really telling the truth or not? What if he was just bluffing? Nevertheless, he couldn't just disregard him because he had been feeling a little tired, but he still couldn't find any clues regarding that little rascal, Arya Kamandhanu.
"Tell me where did you see him?" Elder Sugata urged.
"Don't be so impatient, old man." The man suddenly stood up from his sitting position as he swept away the inexistent dust from his robe. He also tidied up his wrinkled robe for a bit before looking again at the old man in front of him. "Follow me, I've seen him before. He went into that direction." He pointed toward the Northeast path.
Elder Sugata looked at the direction that the man was pointing at and became skeptical. 'But, fine! There is nothing wrong in trying to find in that direction. If it was actually wrong, I could just turned to the other direction.' He thought inwardly. Moreover... He looked at that man and found out that his cultivation was only at the initial level of Void Apprentice. Even if this man tried to scam him, he still could subdued him with easy.
Elder Sugata made up his mind and chose to follow this smoking-man who looked like in his early thirties. "Fine, show me the way." He said afterward.
Then, the duo of the man and old man flew toward the Northeast part of the forest. After flying for a good fifteen minutes where there was no one between them who spoke a word at all, Elder Sugata then chose to talk first to break the silence. "I think I could I fly alone from now on. I would look for him myself. You don't need to follow me anymore. Do you have a communication talisman? Let's exchange so we could communicate afterward. After I found that little brat later on, I will compensate you greatly. What do you think?"
"No need." The man said as he pursed his lips and showed a faint smile. Truthfully speaking, this man was very good looking if he could clean himself a bit. He had a typical face of a foreign race, resembled them who came from the western continent. He possessed a thin beard and a sharp jaw, as well as a full head of hair in a light golden colour. If Marissa was to see him now, she would exclaimed and cursed, "F**k! Was Adam Levine also reincarnated into this world?'
This man... he was literally the copy-paste of the sexy Adam Levine..., in a rather ragged version of course! What a pity! If only he was willing to take a bath and do shaving.
Elder Sugata turned annoyed, but he would wait for a bit more and forcefully made his way to escape. "Alright." He gave up.
One minute later...
"What's your name, young man?" Elder Sugata asked casually. But he didn't expect the answer of the man would give him a goosebumps afterward.
The man was silent for a moment before looking at the direction of Elder Sugata with a menacing smile plastered over his handsome face. "Watukura." He said briefly before looking away.
At this moment, Elder Sugata suddenly felt silent. He felt like he was being thrown into the pool of cold water. Even his flying speed and pose became very unstable. At this time, he could only cursed inwardly. 'Shit, I've fallen into the hand of a devil. I'm doomed!'
